Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Question about acupucture

I was wondering if any of you out there have tried acupucture to help with your IBS. My trainer suggested that I try that but of course my insurance doesn't cover it. Though I am going to try and see if I can find someone who does it pretty resonably priced. He thought it might help with my IBS.

I also wanted to update everyone on my progress so far no attacks and it will be three weeks this coming Sunday. I hope I make it. I really want to go for a month. I almost made it once and then well I guess I ate something that didn't agree with me.

I have also decided its time to see a counslor. I have gone through a lot in these last two years and my trainer suggested that I go see one. I really haven't talked to anyone but him and I guess I really can't get alot out with him and just need to get stuff off of my chest. Of course the biggest thing is having this stupid IBS. I told my trainer last night that I hate having this. Its just about the worse thing anyone could have. I mean you can't go into a restaurant without feeling a sense of dread because you don't know if you can eat the food that is their. Then there is the food that I really miss, like real ice cream, cheese, milk and having a soda every now and then. Sometimes I just want to know what did I do to deserve this (I know that we all probably ask this).

Well sorry to go on and on, but just needed to get things off of my chest. I do hope to hear back from someone about acupucture if they have tried it or not.
